VA Tips to Identify and Avoid Claim Predators: VA has provided information to help veterans recognize and avoid predatory companies that charge to file VA disability claims. Click here for details. Accredited representatives assist veterans with filing VA disability claims, but they must provide this service at no cost for the initial claim. In contrast, “Claim Predators” are not accredited and charge for initial claims assistance sometimes at an exorbitant rate or contractually as a percentage of the veteran’s adjudicated benefits. Other deceptive practices include promising a 100% disability rating or an unrealistic claim processing timeframe.
